The 2000 SAE from the Millennium Sets now have their own competition slot within the sets for SAE and all AE.

Hi David

 

I feel stupid asking this question, have a complete (-) Millennium Set Eagle in my collection. Can you explain the difference between this and regular struck 2000 Eagles. From time to time seen then offered but didn't pay much attention. Thought is was a marketing gimmick, like signed slabs, WTC coins. Or another innovations. Only 450+ graded by NGC, seems to be rare. Thanks

Unlike the SAC, the Mil. Silver Eagle has no minting differences between this "variety" and the normal one. It's purely a gimicky slab deal and thus my, " " upon hearing the news. I know I'm not David, but I had to get that off my chest.

Gimmics have no place in the Registry.

Hey, I'm holding out for a Silver Round Registry...

A quick question, as far as the registry goes, PCGS graded WTC recovery coins don't have a serial number on the slab. How does one enter it into one's registry? So I've saved my Heritage lot and auction numbers as coin identifiers. Well, the reason I bought this is Provence, which IS important in some collecting circles. Whether or not it is going to enhance the value of the coin, well that depends on the collector and how important Provence, i.e. it's chain of ownership, is to the collector and how much they are willing to pay over an identical coin with the same grade. Provence is important to me. But at the same time, an autograph doesn't tell me that person actually owned the coin, only that the owner got his autograph somehow, unless I see the bill of sale (yeah i have a green shade around here somewhere..). But that's why we save all those beautiful auction cats, partly to verify where such and such coin came from.

From what I understand the SAE for the mil. set was reported to have been minted at the West Point Mint. Even though there is no mint mark...

Mr Lange ,,, Has anyone been able to verify this??

New to me ... I thought they were the same Mintage just packaged differently

The Millennium set dollars and silver eagles were purportedly minted at West Point, not Philadelphia, so they are of a different mint origin, with a PL finish on the Sac. dollars as well.

 

I have a set which has been graded with the SAE being MS68 and the Sac dollar graded MS67PL.
